Important Movements Concerning Eng

WASHINGTON. December 27.-A cable
gram from London says The English
politicians are thrown into 4 great tlutter
by Prince Bismsrck's attempts TO draw
from Lord Salisbury a definite pledge to
support the triple alliance, and are fever
ishly anxious to learn TO what extent the
premier has committed the country in
that direction The interview which took
place on Friday between Lord Salisbury
and Count Won Hstzfclt, the German
ambassador, was obviously of so import
ant character that the latter felt i'm
PEELED to report personally 10 the German
chancellor, and he started Immediately
for Freidrichsruhe to confer with his
chief. Thus far no intimatiOn has been
given by any member OF the ministry OF
the nature of the conference between
Lord Salisbury and the German ambassa-
dor, and il is a matter Of doubt whether
any one Of them is in possession Of more
definite information than the general
public.
